Why exactly did WWE buckle so hard to the WWF panda federation? Was the WWE agrreing to get rid of the F not enough that they have to blur and bleep out mentions on the F? Watching the rumble stream is reminiscent to watching japanese porn. The blur is distracting.

Yeah, I dunno. WWE got taken to the cleaners having to retroactively blur the old logo out. ;\



lol @ the dancing spot with Too Cool w/ Rikishi
 
Vince didn't buckle to the Panda people. They fought them every inch in court, and lost.

Reading all the agreements Vince broke with the Panda people made it really easy to side against him.

They signed a deal in 1994 that Vince would not market his company as "WWF" in Europe. Guess how many times he honored that? That was the main sticking point of the decision.

To be honest, all Vince has to do is write a big check to the Panda people and they could probably use the logo again. But he's got all this bullshit pride and in doing so, he probably thinks he'd be admitting defeat or some such nonsense.

They didn't buckle. They were sued and lost. The deal was that they could still be called WWF, if they wanted, but they could no longer do business in the UK, so they changed to the WWE.

They should have just kept the WWF name, but called themselves Mega Drive Wrestling in the UK.

Yeah, I really don't know anything about what happened but it's obvious WWE lost hard. Maybe they had some incriminating Vince casting couch footage or something, i don't know.

Apron's blurred, ring posts blurred. Luckily they decided to leave that one fan's sign alone, "Tom is Gay"

Once again, Enigma the insightful. I didn't know about the prior agreements. Thanks for that.

I think they had a deal with them to continue to use the name but Vince was incredibly arrogant in dealing with them (shocker) so that came to an end.

EDIT: Nevermind, beaten.
 
All they had to do was call themself "World Wrestling Federation Entertainment" in Europe and they would have been fine. They had already been using "WWFE" as their stock market tag and that was the name of their parent company (sort of like what the name "Titan Sports" was).

I did the people's elbow as a kid :lol That shit is pretty devastating.

Now a slap to the chest, what the F-.

And I didn't have to download anything new.

Eh, wrestling was always pretty much hated and looked down upon by anyone who didn't watch it.

It was just all of that coming to a head.

I guess after watching it for a few minutes it tells you to download some Veetle TV program but as suggested above just had to refresh the page.
 
Anyway, THE END BEGINS ANEW!

So will Raw be...

Jericho
Lesnar
Taker
Steph and/or Shane
Benoit (resurrected via Necromancer)
Brotista
Some combination of all the above in a super stable
???
Vince

Chicago was the best place to do this. I love how you could hear a pindrop in the arena after the pyro went off in anticipation, then the crowd just totally explodes when "JERICHO" pops up on the screen.

This was also the night that C**** B***** totally smashed around David Flair on Nitro and won the U.S. Title.

Great night of wrasslin.

And they knew it was Jericho, too. You can hear the chants in the background briefly just after the lights go out. Yet they still lost their shit.
